Fit For Life Diet Information
The Fit For Life diet is a food combining diet that recommends
eating specific combinations of foods at certain times of
the day. The authors of the book 'Fit For Life' Harvey and
Marilyn Diamond devised it in the early 80s. The diet is made
up of 70% fruits and vegetables with all other foods making
up the other 30%. There is no calorie counting or portion
control, as the authors believe that poorly combining foods
and not overeating or lack of exercise causes weight gain.
The diet claims that eating foods incorrectly will cause them
to become rotten and not be digested properly causing fat
to be stored and wasting the bodies energy. So by following
the proper food combining rules and timings the outcome will
be better health, more energy and significant weight loss.
There will be weight loss on this diet but it is due to the
high proportion of low calorie foods.
